阿帕奇zookeeper的目的是开发和维护一个开源的，高可用的分布式协调的服务。
什么是zookeeper?
zookeeper 是一个集中式的服务用来维护配置信息，统一命名，提供分布式的同步和提供集群管理。
所有的这些种类的服务被用在一些或其他形式的分布式应用中。每次这些服务的实现都伴随着不可避免的修复bug，解决竞争条件等大量的工作。
因为这些服务实现的难，应用程序最初通常吝啬对他们，这导致了他们在变化面前非常脆弱和难于管理。即使实现正确了，当应用部署的时候，这些服务不同的实现导致了管理的复杂性。

原文
Welcome to Apache ZooKeeper™
Apache ZooKeeper is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source server which enables highly reliable distributed coordination.
What is ZooKeeper?
ZooKeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services. All of these kinds of services are used in some form or another by distributed applications. Each time they are implemented there is a lot of work that goes into fixing the bugs and race conditions that are inevitable. Because of the difficulty of implementing these kinds of services, applications initially usually skimp on them ,which make them brittle in the presence of change and difficult to manage. Even when done correctly, different implementations of these services lead to management complexity when the applications are deployed.
